HI! I'm Anica, a 19 year old sophomore from the SF Bay Area pursuing a Bachelors of the Arts in Art History and English Literature at UC San Diego with career interests across Art Business & Wealth Management, Academia, Design, and Fashion. Art, fashion, and literature have played major roles in my life growing up, reflected everywhere from my creative work and the vintage collectibles I scour for worldwide to keep as decor. In my free time, I love experimenting with color contrasts in different flower arrangements, oil painting, and cafe hopping. 

I often work in multimedia, reflecting my interest in painting, photography, film, and early exposure to product design. I'm a strong advocate for convenience, effortlessness, and spontaneity. My films are shot candidly on my iPhone or portable Canon G7X and edited strictly within the default Camera app.

 

My creative influences include Yves Saint Laurent, Robert Mapplethorpe, Consuelo Kanaga, Gerhard Richter, and Marguerite Duras.
